Step into a legal role where your judgment is the gatekeeper ⚖️—not your calendar filled with filings, court dates, and endless litigation cycles. A nationally recognized, fast-growing plaintiff-side law firm is seeking 1–2 Intake Attorneys to join its expanding personal injury intake function. This is a highly focused role designed for attorneys who excel at sharp legal analysis, rapid case evaluation, and decisive thinking. You won’t be managing cases end-to-end. You won’t be in litigation. Instead, you’ll sit at the critical front line where cases are shaped, filtered, and greenlit. What This Role Is All About As an Intake Attorney, you will review incoming personal injury matters and determine their legal viability with precision and confidence. You’ll work closely with intake specialists and partner firms to assess claims quickly and accurately—helping ensure only strong, well-supported cases move forward. This is a role built for legal thinkers who thrive on analysis, not litigation volume. Key Responsibilities - Review incoming personal injury cases for merit and viability - Analyze liability, causation, damages, and evidentiary strength - Provide clear, defensible recommendations on case acceptance - Collaborate with intake teams and external personal injury firms - Maintain organized, timely documentation and review workflows - Support consistent decision-making standards across intake processes - Report directly to the Intake Manager

About Us Back in 2000, Ashley and Susan King had a vision: to make moving homes simpler and less stressful. What started as a small corporate panel manager for estate agents quickly grew into something much bigger. By 2009, we shifted our focus to the independent estate agency and mortgage broking market – and that’s when Simply Conveyancing Property Lawyers was born. From the early days, we’ve never stopped innovating. Today, we’re proud to be the highest-rated residential conveyancing law firm on Feefo and Trustpilot. Our team of over 100 dedicated professionals, based across the UK, works to make every home move as smooth as possible. Innovation is in our DNA – we’ve made legal history as the first property law firm in the UK to integrate Alexa into our systems. This means our clients can get real-time updates, guidance on paperwork, and answers about the conveyancing process – all with a simple voice command. It’s just one of the various ways we keep our clients informed and in control. At the heart of everything we do is our culture of Customer Excellence. We don’t just aim to meet expectations – we strive to exceed them. By keeping communication clear and proactive between clients, estate agents, and lawyers, we remove the confusion and frustration that often comes with moving home. Because for us, it’s not just about transactions – it’s about people, trust, and making life easier. Our mission at Simply is simply: to deliver exceptional conveyancing services driven by a trusted team of property experts who care about giving our customers a stress-free experience and peace of mind. Our Values We raise the bar by striving for excellence every day – showing up as our best selves, taking pride in our work, and embracing feedback as a chance to improve. We delight our customers by putting them at the heart of everything we do, listening carefully, communicating clearly, and delivering solutions that make their experience simple and rewarding.
